It won’t be hard to tell you much about this incredible 45 from 1966 Texas psych/garage band KNIGHTS BRIDGE, particularly when I can cut & paste their entry from “Answers.comâ€Â! :
Made up of sophomores from high school in Odessa, Texas, Knights Bridge was an astonishingly adept and hard-edged garage band. They were signed to Sea Ell Records of Houston in 1967 and cut a debut single, “Make Me Some Love” b/w “CJ Smith,” that oozed punk defiance on a level that would’ve been more appropriate to a group five years older. The record only ever had a few hundred copies pressed, and reportedly changed hands for prices of up to $500 in the 1980’s. In 1994, both sides of the record, plus a demo of “C.J. Smith” and a fourth Sea Ell-recorded track, “I Need Your Love,” turned up on Collectables Records’ History of Texas Garage Bands In the ’60s Volume 1: The Sea Ell Label Story. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
Sophomores! Correct me if I’m wrong, but sophomores typically are 15 or 16 years of age. Whoa. The 45 has been comped many other places as well, most notably on an amazing CD series called “Texas Flashbacksâ€Â. It’s absolutely one of the great ones, and now you get it for free.
